Title: Method and apparatus for laser welding thermoplastic resin members
Inventor: NAKAJIMA KATSUHIKO
IPC: B29C65/16
Filed: 2006-10-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for laser welding, whereby high welding strength, a low degree of variation in strength, and lack of occurrence of burrs can be achieved when two members formed of thermoplastic resin material are welded, are provided. In a laser welding apparatus 1, contact surfaces 4 of a first member 2 formed of transmissive thermoplastic resin that transmits a laser beam and a second member 3 formed of absorptive thermoplastic resin that absorbs a laser beam are joined by melting via laser beam R. The apparatus is equipped with a casing 5 that accommodates the first member and the second member, a vacuum pump 6 that reduces the pressure inside the casing, and a laser beam generator 10, whereby at least one of the contact surfaces of the first member and the second member becomes melted. In the apparatus, the first member and the second member are made to come into contact with each other under a reduced pressure atmosphere, and contact surfaces of the two members are irradiated with laser beam R from the side of the first member that transmits laser beam.

Abstract: The retrofitting of an existing methanol or methanol/ammonia plant to make acetic acid is disclosed. The existing plant has a reformer (10) to which natural gas or another hydrocarbon and steam (water) are fed. Syngas is formed in the reformer (10). All or part of the syngas is processed to separate out carbon dioxide (24), carbon monoxide (30) and hydrogen (32), and the separated carbon dioxide (24) is fed either to the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) for methanol synthesis, or back into the feed to the reformer (10) to enhance carbon monoxide formation in the syngas (18). Any remaining syngas (38) not fed to the carbon dioxide separator (22) can be converted to methanol in the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) along with carbon dioxide (24) from the separator (22) and/or imported carbon dioxide (25), and hydrogen (35) from the separator (28). The separated carbon monoxide (30) is then reacted with the methanol (36) to produce acetic acid (40) or an acetic acid precursor by a conventional process. Also disclosed is the reaction of separated hydrogen (32) with nitrogen (52), in a conventional manner, to produce ammonia. Also disclosed is the reaction of a portion of the acetic acid (40) in a conventional manner with oxygen (46) and ethylene (44) to form vinyl acetate monomer (48). The nitrogen for the added ammonia capacity in a retrofit of an original methanol plant comprising an ammonia synthesis loop (33), and the oxygen (46) for the vinyl acetate monomer process (42), are obtained from a new air separation unit (50).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling the aerodynamic load of a wind turbine blade 108 by controlling the tip speed ratio (TSR) and/or blade pitch setting of the wind turbine blade so as to optimize power production. A wind turbine blade 108 undergoes an aero-elastic response including deflection and twist that is a function of the blade loading. The blade loading is dependent on the wind speed, TSR, and pitch setting. The aero-elastic response requires a different TSR and/or pitch to be selected throughout the power curve in order to maintain the optimum power production and to improve energy capture.
